iClone sets look great, but most animations are horrid. Plus, more of their users seem interested in money rather than making flicks.

Moviestorm is cheaper and easier than iClone, but there are few folk actually making movies. All very serious "artistes"

I'm loving the fact that people who use Muvizu make stuff... for fun. That's what's missing from "realistic" machinima.]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:41:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic607-characters-with-the-air-of-realism.aspx My movie was more this age and not fantasy so WoW wasn't an option. Valve's tool plain suck..

- Movie Storm doesn't look very good, harder to use then this and costs money now too.
- iClone along the lines of above

Then i was looking into maybe using the UDK (Unreal Engine 3 went free) and someone mentioned this i thought FINALLY, SOMEONE made MOD that we all wanted to see.

Now i agree with the above, it is way too cartoon style. I'd prefer a bit of realism as well (for testing i'll probably go with what's available for now), if it's on the todo list to apply realism then i'm already happy.

Keep up the good work, you have my endless gratitude.
Respect to the all coders, designers and animators and everyone else who have put so much work into this.

In another thread where people other than myself were making sound comments, I stated something similar to what I will formally mention here. I understand that making characters too realistic will result in the creepiness factor of The Polar Express.

In fact some of Muvizu's competitors have a realistic look to their characters that may be a detriment for them.

However, would Muvizu consider making some characters a little more realistic? Certainly some of the characters in Pixar's The Incredibles are cartoonish while still having an 'air' realism. This is what I mean by having some characters LEAN a little more Realistic.

Thanks.
